All Reviews for TV, Film & Movie Tours

We had the best time on our jungle tour . Our tour guide was outstanding . Funny, informative and we were captivated from the moment we sat in the seats and took off , until we returned back to where we started. It was the highlight of our tour experience. I would give this tour an outstanding rating!
Unfortunately the next tour was a huge disappointment, the movie tour.
While it was interesting seeing the cardboard signs where all the movies took place, there were little if no remaining evidences that any movie ever were filmed there. That was my mistake as the driver explained that all props must be removed.
Our driver mentioned immediately that he had “ deadpan humor” which sorely missed the mark. While he was knowledgeable and his information was interesting, his style of presentation was filled with unnecessary repetitive words “Also here within here collectively also here “ . My suggestion would be to work on simplifying the dialogue to keep the.audience engaged. Sadly, we decided to leave after the tour missing the last tour we had paid for.

I enjoyed it more than I had imagined. The course was varied, allowing for different ways to have fun. The lunch was fresh and delicious, with both meat and vegetables. The tour led by Mr. KOA was especially enjoyable.

想像していたより、楽しめた。コースがバラエティに飛んでいて、いろいろな楽しみ方が出来る。ランチはお肉も野菜も新鮮で美味しかった。特にガイドMr.KOAさんのツアーは楽しかった

Kualoa Ranch is clearly the best choice for outdoor adventures in Oahu. So much fun from start to finish! The farm, jungle, and movie locations tours were spectacular. Mahalo

I had always thought about visiting Kualoa Ranch someday. Since my husband loves Jurassic Park, we chose this tour. It felt like we were going through three short tours in one day. Each segment lasts 90 minutes, almost like a college class! The explanations are in English, but the American jokes are simple enough that you won't be completely lost. We learned about Hawaiian plants, and surprisingly, there were some aspects that felt like a school trip. We even got to crack macadamia nuts ourselves and enjoy fresh ones, making it a tour filled with attractions beyond just visiting movie filming locations. I was very satisfied. However, the time commitment is long, so it might feel like a waste if you're on a short stay. The round-trip bus is extremely cold, so I recommend bringing a thicker jacket or hoodie.

いつかは行ってみようと思っていたクアロアランチ。夫がジュラシックパークが好きなのでこちらのツアーにしました。３つのショートツアーを一日かけて周る感じです。90分1コマなのでまるで大学の授業のよう笑　英語の説明ですが、アメリカンジョークも簡単なものだったりするのでそんなに何を話してるかわからない状態にはなりませんが、ハワイの植物を学んだりと意外と修学旅行チックなツアーもありました。マカダミアナッツを自分で割ってフレッシュなものを食べれたりと、映画のロケ地訪問だけではない魅力が詰まったツアーで大満足でした。ただ、拘束時間が長いので短期滞在だと勿体無いかも。往復のバスは極寒なので厚めの羽織ものやパーカーをお持ちになることをおすすめします。

We did the Jungle expedition, movie sets and agriculture tours. The guides at the ranch were great. The ranch itself is beautiful. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Polynesian culture, what’s grown on the ranch and got to try a few foods while on the agriculture tour. I took a star off because the bus driver was kind of a jerk. He complained about the other driver and belittled us for not laughing at his jokes or wanting to interact with his aggressive attempt at a side show on the way to the ranch. One lady did attempt to interact with him by asking a question and he got angry with her. No one attempted to engage with him after that. On the ride back to Waikiki he didn’t speak and hurried people off at their stops.

After racing along the dirt paths of the jungle while explaining the surroundings and enjoying the vast scenery, it was a bit disappointing to feel increasingly deflated during the movie set tour and the visit to the farmer's living area. If we were going to explore similar spaces, it might have been better to have different experiences like horseback riding or cycling. I wish there had been clearer explanations of the activities during the booking phase.

ジャングルの土道を説明しながら疾駆し、広大な景色を満喫した後、映画撮影現場ツアー、農家の生活域への訪問と続いて、どんどん気持ち的に萎えてしまう様だったのが少々残念。同じ様な空間を回るのであれば、乗馬とかサイクリングとかの別形態の体験をした方が良かったかも知れないと、もう少し体験内容の事前説明を募集段階で判るようにしてあったらと思う。

The day was very informative,friendly and all round a fantastic experience

So good, I want to return to try out other experiences! Everything was great. I'm not normally a picture taker, but I took dozens this day. Lunch was awesome too.

I think horseback riding and buggies are great, but if you want to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, this tour is perfect. You can fully enjoy the movie filming locations, the agricultural and fishery conditions, and the wonderful views of Kualoa. However, since it was an English-guided tour, I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English better.

乗馬やバギーも良いと思うが、ゆっくり景色と楽しむなら、このツアー。映画ロケ地を堪能、農林水産の状況、クアロアの素晴らしい景色を存分に堪能できた。ただ、英語ガイドだったので、英語が分かればもっと楽しかったと思います。

It was a better tour than I expected. The scenery was really wonderful. However, I can't really recommend the farm tour. I'm glad I chose the ferry instead.

予想より良いツアーでした。景色がとても素晴らしかった。ただ農場周りのツアーはあまりおすすめできない。フェリーのほうを選んでよかった。

I had the best time! All three tours were so much fun and the tour guides were super helpful and had many jokes which I appreciated a lot! This is definitely an activity you should wear closed toe shoes for as there are some small/ short hikes involved and if it rains like it did for me (which was okay because it still worked out perfectly) there will be quite a bit of mud so make sure you have on a pair of sneakers/trainers so that you can enjoy it as much as I did.
The tour guides were all super sweet and helpful and they make sure you’re comfortable and make you feel like Ohana:)

The tour included a variety of activities such as farm visits, jungle exploration, and movie location tours. The farm visits had very beautiful scenery. The jungle exploration was thrilling with the ups and downs of the vehicle. I think watching the movies beforehand would make the movie location tour even more moving. The lunch was also delicious. However, the disappointing point was that there was no Japanese guide at all.

農園巡り、ジャングル探検、映画ロケ地巡りツアーと盛りだくさんの内容でした。農園巡りは景色がとても美しかったです。ジャングル探検は、車の上下動が迫力ありました。映画ロケ地巡りツアーは、映画を観ておくと、より感動すると思います。ランチも美味しく頂きました。ただ残念な点は、日本語のガイドが全くなかったことです。

Due to the lack of Japanese speakers, all the information was provided in English, which I couldn't understand at all.
However, the scenery was absolutely stunning.
I could sense that all the guides were cheerful and probably made a lot of jokes.

日本人が少ない為、全て英語の案内で、英語のわからない私には、内容は全くわからず。
でも、目に入ってくる景色は最高でした。
ガイドさんも全員明るくて、冗談をいっぱい言っているんだろうな？って事は感じ取れました。

Unfortunately, the weather on the day was rainy, but the vast nature spread out before me, and I was moved to experience the worlds of Jurassic Park and King Kong up close. There were many other activities like horseback riding and buggies, so next time I would like to participate in a different activity.

当日の天気はあいにくの雨でしたが、広大な自然が目の前に広がり、ジュラシックパークやキングコングなどの世界観を間近に体験することができて感動しました。
乗馬やバギーなど、他にも沢山のアクティビティがあったので、次回はまた別のアクティビティに参加してみたいと思います。

Thank you guys for everything you do! We enjoyed all three adventures and lunch. Our hearts are still with Ana! She is a perfect guide!

This 3-experience tour takes all day and lunch is provided! The tour guide/drivers were hilarious, and the rides were jumping! Saw all that was advertised and more. I don't suggest it for young kids, all three experiences might be too much!

We had a great time at this ranch doing 3 different tours; Jungle Tour, Plant Tour and a Movie Tour! During each of these tours we had great tour guides who taught us lots of cool things about Hawaiian culture and sites. We would definitely go back to Kualoa Ranch and do the other things we didn’t do this time. The Movie Tour showed us the sites for lots of different movies so now I want to go home and watch all of them again! Great fun!! And definitely something I would do again!

. It’s a dusty ride so don’t wear a ton of makeup. Wear comfy shoes, not flip flops. Good value for your money.

Great tours, did three tours, the Jungle experience, movie tour and Farm tour. Everything was well organized including the included lunch. The bus picked us up at the hotel right on time and drooped us off back at the hotel. All the guides were very informative and allowed ample time to see all the sights that had stops.
Would highly recommend Veltra as we did 2 different tour with them during our visit including the Island circle tour

Hi!

The tour was beautiful! I’d say my favorite part was the Farm tour. They showed us some beautiful nature moments and we got to taste some of the food. The Jungle keep expedition would’ve been my favorite part however the portion where they visit the bunker was quite unsophisticated and it really cheapened the experience for me. It was extremely dated and looks like it hasn’t been changed in a decade or two. There we’re some portions we’re it looked like an artists graffitied some movie art to make a section exciting but in my opinion it looked unprofessional and naive.

The charm of the ranch is the beautiful moments in nature and the warm stuff. All the staff were so sweet and caring! However, if your going for the movie portions, it’s not really as sophisticated as you’d hope. For example the skull mountain bones have been taken apart by visitors of past and don’t look as good as they did in the films.

Overall I really enjoyed myself and would recommend all to visit! I just wish there movie portions we’re more sophisticated and were updated with technology of this decade.

The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience top notch. The views were amazing and beautiful and honestly could just spend all day staring at the mountains. The combo tours were definitely worth it!!

The ultimate package gave us 3 tours and lunch! We loved the Aloha Aina tour, learning about the land the plants, birds and all the agriculture. We enjoyed the hawaiian snacks, learning about the taro, the fish ponds and raising oystes and shrimp. The Hollywood movie tour had fun learning about different movies filmed on the ranch. The Jungle tour was awesome for the views and historical Hawaiian stories of how the ranch came to be what it is today! LUNCH was yummy! Each guide was very informative and always safety first oriented.. Thank you Kualoa Ranch !

A tour located a short bus ride from Honolulu. The views of both the mountains and the ocean are great, and the guides' explanations are entertaining. It seems to be frequently used as a filming location, so if you love Hollywood movies, you'll especially enjoy this tour. However, even if you're not interested in that, the scenery is beautiful enough to enjoy. Just keep in mind that the jungle exploration might be a bit challenging for those who get motion sickness.

ホノルルからバスでしばらく行った場所でのツアー。
山も海も眺めがよく，またガイドさんたちの説明も面白い。
映画ロケ地として頻繁に使われているようなので，ハリウッド映画が好きなら特に楽しめるツアー。でも関心が無くても，景色は十分に綺麗で楽しめます。
ただジャングル探検は車酔いするひとにはちょっと大変かもしれません。

This time, I participated in a movie location tour and a jungle tour. It was a lot of fun in the vast nature. The driver for the jungle tour was a woman who couldn't speak Japanese, and she lacked a bit of service spirit, which was a little disappointing. However, the jungle tour itself was enjoyable. Since it was in the jungle, the weather changed quickly, and it rained heavily, soaking my clothes.

今回は映画のロケ地ツアーやジャングルツアーに参加しました。広大な大自然の中、とても楽しかったです。ジャングルツアーは、日本語が話せない女性がドライバーでしたが、あまりサービス精神がなく、少し残念でした。ジャングルツアー自体は楽しかったです。ジャングルなので、天気が変わりやすく、凄い雨が降ったりして、洋服がびしょぬれになりました。

The guide was very friendly and entertaining! The jungle tour was quite bumpy, and I hit my head hard. Haha, it might be tough for those who get motion sickness... It was a tour packed with activities! I want to visit Kualoa Ranch again, and next time I’d like to try the ATV tour at the same ranch!

ガイドさんがすごくフレンドリーで面白かったです！
ジャングルツアーは揺れがすごいので頭を強打しました。笑　乗り物酔いある人は辛いかもです…
ボリューム満点のツアーでした！
またクアロア牧場に行きたいし、次は同じ牧場の、バギーツアーなどにも参加してみたいです！

It was a tour where we enjoyed three activities, and as soon as one ended, the next was waiting for us. After that, we had lunch, and then the final tour followed, creating a seamless flow like being on a conveyor belt. Before we knew it, the enjoyable tour was over.

３つのアクチビテイを楽しむツアーでしたが、一つのそれが終わるとすぐ次のそれが待っていて、それがすむとランチ、そして最後のツアーとまるでベルトコンベヤーに載っているような無駄のない流れ、アッという間に楽しいツアーが終わりました。

We participated with a total of 14 family members after the family ceremony. Since we had a 3-year-old child with us, we only joined the activities involving rides, but the Jurassic Park movie location and the jungle tour in the Kualoa mountains were quite bumpy, and the child enjoyed it like a roller coaster. The lunch time was a bit short, about 40 minutes, so we hurriedly ate, and afterwards, we had a farm tour with tastings. Since my aunt and parents are in their 60s, we moved around by rides, which seemed manageable for them physically. Everyone had a great time, and we took a lot of photos, so we were very satisfied!

家族挙式後の両家総勢14人で参加。3歳の子供もいたので、乗り物のアクティビティだけの参加でしたが、ジュラシックパーク映画ロケ地や、クアロアの山のジャングルツアーは結構車が揺れて子供はジェットコースターみたいで楽しんでました。ランチの時間が少し短く40分くらいだったのでバタバタご飯食べて、その後は農園ツアーで試食付き。叔母や両親も60代なので、全て乗り物に乗って移動だったので体力的にも大丈夫なようでした。みんなで楽しめたし写真もたくさん撮ってもらって満足です！

It's perfect for movie lovers. The scenery from the films is right in front of you! It's a valuable experience! The botanical garden was also enjoyable with the guide's humor. Lunch can get crowded, but there were enough chairs for us to sit. At one point, we ran out of hot water for milk, and since the next tour time and dining area weren't in a restaurant, I was concerned about hygiene for the baby and didn't order. Also, there are no changing tables, but if you're well-prepared, it's fine for those with babies! You can sit for a long time without getting tired and enjoy it all the way to the end.

映画好きには最高です。映画でみた景色がまさに目の前に！貴重な体験ができます！また植物園もガイドさんのユーモアがある案内で楽しめました！ランチは混んでますが、椅子の数が十分あったので座れました。途中、ミルク用のお湯が足りなくなり、頼むにも次の見学の時間や、食事場所もレストラン？ではないので赤ちゃんにとっての衛生面が心配で頼みませんでした。またおむつ交換台もないですが、赤ちゃん連れの方はしっかり準備して行けば大丈夫です！座ってる時間が長いので疲れず、ゆったり最後まで楽しめます

Although the guide mentioned that there would be no explanations in Japanese, the presenters at each attraction provided explanations in Japanese, which was helpful.
We chose the movie location tour, jungle exploration, and the Taste of Kualoa tour (a tour to see and taste Hawaii's agricultural products). Since it was our first time, I was wondering what it would be like, but these turned out to be quite enjoyable attractions.
There seem to be many other activities available as well, such as ATV rides, horseback riding, and zip-lining. I thought I would try different attractions next time I come.

The round-trip bus from Honolulu to the ranch was quite uncomfortable on the way there.
The air conditioning was too strong, making it cold, the seats were hard, and the background music was too loud. Since the pickup was at 7 AM, I couldn't even sleep on the bus in that situation.
However, the return bus was comfortable.

案内では日本語での説明はないとのことであったが、各アトラクションでの説明者は日本語で説明してくれて助かった。
私たちは映画ロケ地めぐり・ジャングル探検・テイストオブクアロアツアー（ハワイの農産物見学試食ツアー）をチョイス。初めてなのでどんなものかと思っていたら、これら結構楽しいアトラクションばかりであった。
他には四輪バギー・乗馬・ジップラインなど多くのアクティビティも体験できるようだ。
次回来たときは違うアトラクションも体験しようと思った。

ホノルルから牧場までの行き帰りバスによるものであったが、行きのバスの環境は最悪であった。
冷房効かせすぎで寒かったし、座席も硬くBGMもうるさすぎ、朝７時ピックアップなのでバスの中で寝ていきたくてもそんな状況になれず。
ただ、帰りのバスは快適であった。

I participated with my 7-year-old child. At the movie filming locations, the Japanese-speaking driver provided fun explanations while we toured the sites. The scenery was wonderful. Since I had only been around Waikiki before, I realized once again that this is also Hawaii.

It started to rain, and we wore raincoats. The jungle exploration was entirely in English. Unfortunately, my English isn't great, so I couldn't understand the explanations, but my child said this was the most fun part. It seemed like they enjoyed the bumpy ride.

The other activity also had explanations in Japanese after the English ones, which made me feel at ease participating. My child seemed to tire out and was a bit less energetic. Overall, everywhere you looked, there were magnificent and wild views, and it was a lot of fun.

7歳の子どもと参加しました。
映画ロケ地では日本語のドライバーさんが楽しく説明しながらロケ地めぐり。そしてその風景は素晴らしかったです。これまでワイキキ周辺しか行ったことがなかったので、これもハワイなんだなと改めて認識しました。
途中雨が降ってきてカッパ？を着ながら。
ジャングル探検はオール英語でした。残念ながら英語がダメなので説明がわかりませんでしたが、子どもはここが一番楽しかったと言ってました。車が揺れるのが良かったようです。
もう一つのアクティビティも英語の後に日本語で説明があり、安心して参加しました。子どもは疲れたのかトーンダウンしていましたが。
全体的にどこを切り取っても雄大な景色でワイルドで、楽しかったです。
